The Importance of a Healthy Immune System • The immune system is responsible for fighting foreign invaders in the body, like pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and also destroy cells within the body when they become cancerous. • Studies shows that immune function often decreases with age, and recent research suggests this decrease is also related to nutrition and may be slowed or even stopped by maintaining healthy nutrition. And it shows how to boost immunity.
Protein and the Immune System • Studies have shown that deficiency of high-quality protein can result in depletion of immune cells, inability of the body to make antibodies, and other immune-related problems. • High-quality, complete proteins are found from many sources: • eggs, fish, and shellfish, tofu, tempeh and quinoa • Many vegetables and grains are also excellent sources of many of the immune-stimulating amino acids • Broccoli, brown rice, nut butters, mushrooms, nuts and seeds
Vitamin C for a Healthy Immune System • Supports a decrease in the length of time and severity of symptoms associated with upper respiratory viral infections, promote phagocytic cell functions, and support healthy T-cell function. • Provides antioxidant activity to support healing at sites ofinflammation
